Lulu Guinness to Collaborate with Uniqlo on a Line of T-Shirts

When a favorite designer of mine announces that they will soon be making something affordable, my ears perk up! Yes, darlings, high-end handbag designer Lulu Guinness is about to partner with Uniqlo to make a line of T-shirts. This scoop was reported by our blogger chums at Fashionista.com.

I’m excited about this news for a few reasons.  One is I have been addicted to Lulu’s handbags because of their witty sayings like “Put on Your Pearls Girls” and “The World is Your Oyster”, however, I had to stifle my addiction because the bags are so pricey.  But the purchase of a T-shirt brings new affordable possibilities.  Lulu’s bags retail for about $300.00 US, I expect the Tees to be under $30.00 US, although no details have been announced.  Uniqlo, please get eCommerce enabled on your  US website so we can all enjoy the forthcoming collection.   I barely got my Uniqlo Antoni & Alison Tee before long distance ordering was discontinued.  That ain’t right! Uniqlo, please call The Recessionista hotline and share your plan for US eCommerce.  Operators are standing by 🙂
